audience. The parties cant to blows in the pit, and the municipal guard on duty not being able to restore order, the governor of the city sit in a detachment of soldiers to disperse the rioters, several of whom were arrested. There were also some disturbances in the square near the theatre. Among the young persons arrested, and still in confinement, is a Mr. P., who was so ill-used that it 11. s been necessary to remove him to the house of his father, who, it is said, is gone to the Hague to complain of the violence exercised towards his son. The actress who was the innocen cause of the disturbance, has, very wisely, left Brussels Th e Allgemeine Zeitung of the 3d inst., has also reached us this forenoon. The following is the only extract worth making:— VIENNA, JUNE 28. An express f rnrn Karlsburg, a castle belonging to Count Zichy, has brought the news of the sudden death, by an apoplectic fit of His Highness the Prince of Cohary, Autic Chancellor of Hungary, the last male descendant of a most ancient family. The Estates go to his eon-in-law, Prince Ferdinand of Saxe Coburg, who will take the title of Prince Sue Coburg Cohary. Metall iques, 91.1-16—Bank Shares, 1115 His Majesty's brig Swinger arrived at Portsmouth on the Bth inst., bringing despatches for the Colonial Department, and for the Admiralty, from Commodore BULLEN, commanding his Majesty's ships on the coast of Africa, down to the 29th May ; and having on board Mr. WELLINGTON, one of the Commis tioners of Enquiry at Sierra Leone, whose health had been in such an alarming state, as to render necessary his immediate removal from that noxious climate, which the Commodore humanely accomplished by sending home the Swinger with him. We are happy to learn that Mr. WELLINGTON has reached England, and that his health is improving, The squadron had been 'tolerably healthy, but nume rous deaths had taken place among the military, as well as civilians, at Sierra Leone, the Gambia, and on the Gold Coast. We subjoin an extract of an inte resting private 'letter, which we have received from a Gentleman at Sierra Leone, dated the 29th May : " I am sorry to inform you that this miserable place has taken Igo serious a hold of Mr. Wellington, one of the Commissioners of Enquiry, that a Medical Board sat on his health this day; and unless he be removed instantly, certain death must he the conse quence. 'the Commodore, therefore, with the humanity which distinguishes him, has, I understand, ordered the Swinger home with him, and we shall be gratified to learn that he reaches Old England. " The infamy of the proceedings of this diabolical Colony beg gars description. Not content with the mad and unprovoked attack made on the Sherborough people, you will hardly believe it, that they sent some troops a short time since to burn a miserable native village. In the first attack by the General, he himself, his Brigade-Major, with sev,v I men, .vere killed—or died of fever; and the Leven, who had ra3n;y gone to assist, lost three mid shipmen and eenmen. Amongst the former', the eldest son of the Commodore—. 4 very fine promising youth. In the last attack none were killed, but a fine young man, of the liberated African department, was with some others badly wounded. "'Twenty-three or four of the soldiers, who lately reached this hot-bed of disease in the Einnney, are already dead, besides two or three women—this, too, before the rains, which are only now about to commence. " The Commodore keeps the squadron very much at sea, and I understand that it is very healthy; but on shore here, the Gambia, and Gold Coast, the deaths are sadly frequent. As long as this hole is governed by a military man, who has troops at his nod, the Colony will be in a constant state of warfare. Send out a Civil Governor ; keep your faith with the natives; treat them with kindness, and settle any difference by a palaver, as they call it ; do this, and all will go on well. But the Native Nations will not be drivels by the force of arms." We received Dutch Papers this afternoon; but they 'possess little interest. The following are extracts HAGUE, JULY 11. We hear that Mr. Shaternes, Counsellor of State, is Dominated by the King to negociate with the Court of Vienna, respecting the existing differences relative to the navigation of the Rhine. The Crown Prince of Prussia, and his sister, the Princess Louisa; consort of Prince Frederick, arrived here on the 6th. PETERSBUGII, JUNE 21. His Majesty the Emperor has made a present to the. Don Cossacks of the sabre usually worn by the Emperor Alexander. This most valuable present which wa s brought by General Kammenow, was delivered with great solemnity on 21st May, at Novo Tscherkask. Lieutenant- General Howaisky, Hetman of the Cossacks, made an af fecting speech to the numerous spectators; and it was re solved that the 21st May should henceforth be kept as a ho liday An establishment for orphans is to be founded at Novo Tscherkask, by voluntary subscriptions, and to bear the name of the Emperor Alexander. The high tribunal lately a pJointed for th e t r i a l o f conspirators, has been sitting without interruption ever since the 15th, in the palace of the directing Senate. Prince Laponchin has been obliged, by to illness, decline the office of Pre sident. His Majesty, by a decree of 24th April, has ordered that the proceedings of the Bible Societies shall be sus pended till further orders ; that an exact amount shall be made out of their real'and personal property, and a report made upon it. The sale of Bibles in Selavonian, Russian, and other languages spoken in the empire, is still per mitted. PETERSBURGH, JUNE 24. On the 2lst, in the afternoon, a destructive fire broke out on the Exchange at Cronstadt, which spread with such rapidity among the vast timber magazines, which were perfectly dry, having been lying for years, that all attempts to check the progress of the flames were in vain. Towards evening all the timber magazines, the whole line of shops, &c. were consumed. The damage is estimated at six millions of r u bl es . None of the foreign ships were injured.

We understand that a squadron of Russian men of war, consisting of three line of battle ships, and nine frig a tes, under the command of Admiral CROWN, is shortly expected in the narrow Seas. It is said they are to cruise during the summer months, for the exer cise of the crews. The arrival of the Bussorah Merchant, has this morning put us in possession of Madras Govern ment Gazettes to the 2d of March. The news from the Upptir Provinces are not of so late a date as those received a week ago by the Thomas Grenville ; nei ther are the accounts from our troops in Ava. The following are the only subjects worthy of notice :—..- "Dispatches have been received at Calcutta from Copt, Burney, Envoy at Siam, announcing his arrival at 13ankok on the 4th of December. He had his first audience of the King of Siam, on the 16th Dec. and experienced a gracious and friendly reception. " On the 12th Feb. the Enterprise steam-packet left Calcutta for Rangoon, having on board Mr. Crawford, who goes as third Member of the existing Commission, and Joint Civil Commis sioner. if the war continues, he is to take charge of th e D elta ( *Pegs., with the district s of Bassein and Martaban. "Letters from Ilhurtpore mention a largo quantity of treasure having been found—not less than 90 lass of rupees. The same lettere speak of an enormous piece of ordnance (102 pounder) which has been captured, as about to be sent to England, to be presented to his Majesty. " Herbert, the deserter, has been banged, pursuant to the sen tence of the Court-martial, on the morning of the SOth January. "We understand that the small-pox has been raging in Cutch with unexampled virulence, and that there had been no less than 700 victims to it in one district in the short period of a month. "The cholera had also made its appearance in the force encamped in the neighbourhood of Rhooj ; but by the last accounts, had nearly disappeared, though it still continued ' to prevail in the surrounding villages."' -Our City Correspondent says, that accounts have been received from Colombia, stating that the Go vernment had passed a law for funding all Government paper, and fixing the interest to be paid from July next. Upon receipt of the news of the insurrectionary movements in La Guayra, an embargo was laid on all vessels, the town gates were closed, and great ap prehensions were entertained for the safety of persons and property. The Intendant of La Guayra, it is stated, was the bearer of despatches from General PAEZ to BOLIVAR. Affairs remained in a tranquil state. It appears by another account, printed by order of the House of Commons, that since the conclusion of the Peace, 445 Ships of War and other Vessels have been sold by the Navy Board, of which 112 were sold on condition of being broken up. The Tonnage of the whole number sold amounts to 229,847 Tons. It appears by a Return printed in pursuance of an Order of the House of Commons, dated 18th May last, that 1,615 persons were confined in the different _ _ _ gaols of Great Britain for offences against the Game Laws, in the year ending Dec. 1825, of whom 256 were committed for being ARMED at night. THE STOCK EXCHANGE. The Stock Exchange was thrown into great confusion this morning, by a report that not less than six Expresses had arrived from South America, and were waiting at the end of the court to deliver their despatches; in an instant the house was empty, all eager to ascertain the wonderful information they brought, when, to their great surprise, the six Expresses proved to be the six Sadler's Wells poney racers ; and at a signal given, they proceeded up the court into the foreign market, from whence they were conducted into the English market, turned about, and made their debut. We remain without any news from the army in Upper India. Alevera -has not yet submitted, and it is now said that our forces are not to be employed, but speedily go into cantonments. Independent of the troops with the Rajah of Alevera, there is in his service a body of thirty thousand horse. THE FUNDS. The price of the Funds, at the close of Saturday's busi ness, 78H (including the dividend), differs very little from the preceding week's report; but there was considerable fluctuation during the week, Consols at one time having reached 79-1. The reason of this improvement may be traced to the fact of a petition having been presented to th e Bank, begging the Court of Proprietors to take into consideration the propriety of again reducing their dis counts to 4. per cent. The Bank, as might be expected, very properly refused the application. We do not know on what grounds the petitioners could ask it; and we are quite sure that had it been granted, no possible public be nefit could have accrued from it; but, on the contrary, we think the Bank, as a body of men strongly affecting public interests, could hardly so forget what was (Inc to the public, to lend itself to such an application. Probably a sight of the principal names signed to the petition might throw some light upon the subject, and enable the public to ascertain the advantages the petitioners hoped for by the proposed a l terat i on . The Quarterly Statement of the Revenue appears not to have had much influence on the price of Stocks. It was thought that so large a defalcation would have greatly de pressed them; but the speculators appear to have acted upon these, fears long before the accounts were made up; and even now there appear to be doubts what the defi ciency really is, some papers estimating it at one million, and others half a million ; and a Sunday Paper, of exten sive circulation, makes out, to the inexpressible joy of its readers, that there is, in point of fact, though not in point of figures, a very large surplus. We confess it is rather a solecism, in this enlightened age, that public accounts cannot be made out in such a manner as to be clear to the meanest capacity; and we therefore look forward with great anxiety to the speedy establishment of .some more intelligible system than that now in operation of stating the Quarterly Revenue. The Foreign Market was, during the wh o l e wee k, i n a state of gr ea t ag i ta ti on . The holders of the Colombian Bonds look with great impatience to the next arrival. We have never held out any hopes that the Colombian dividend will be paid; but we confidently expect that something will be done to show a disposition at least, on the part of the Government, to meet its engagements. We think it would be quite unwise in those who now hold the Bonds to part with them. CITY, Twelve o' Clock. Consols opened this morning rather heavy at '7Bl, buyers, and soon after were quoted at 78i 1, they have subsequently fallen to 78, at which price they remain, with little business transact ing.

VEIIPOOLO-4 am happy to state that the book-cases of two or more of the counting-houses have been got at and opened, and the contents found safe, or at least so far legible that they can be read distinctly. In one there we re upward s o f 300 sovere i gns . I un derstand the estimated loss is from 70 to 80,0001.; and on which about 50,0001. was insured in the various offices. The heaviest sum appears to be 9,0001. in one office. The ruins of the bu il din gs yester d ay presente d a me lancholy yet picturesque appearance ; several corners and threatening walls are s t i ll stand i ng at f u ll h e i g h t , and the streets and sites of the warehouses are covered with heaps of, the bricks and burnt balks—in one place, where goods are probably' buried, to a height of twenty-five or, thirty feet. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COITRT OF CHANCERY.—(Tmts DAT.) CRAWSHAY V. COLLINS.—BROWNE V. DE JASTET. His LORDSHIP did not sit to-day till I 1 o'clock, and he proceeded at great length, immediately, to detail the par ticulars of these cases. In the former ease, three persons, Collins, Noble, and Broughton, carried on business in co partnership, as pump and engine -makers, until the part nership was dissolved by the bankruptcy of Noble. Ac counts were not immediately taken, but soon after the bankruptcy a proposal was made to settle the accounts ; Collins, the only surviving partner, offering an interest in the partnership to t h e bankrupts' estate, only until the bankruptcy happened, and the assignees insisting to have an int erest up to the time of settling the ac counts. Upon t hi s po i nt the artners split, and hence the present su it, w hi ch was instituted within a year Instituted after the bankruptcy. As to the case of Browne v. De Jastet, various Masters' reports had been made, the last of which took accounts as against Mr. De Jastet, and in favour of the representatives of his deceased partner, 111 r. Maugin, on the principle of an existing partnership. Butthe Court desired to know, whether taking the accounts as partnership accounts, and not in a general way, was consistent with the directions in the decree made in the cause; and next, if it was, what was meant by certain ex pressions in the Master's report ? And his Lordship re quested these points to be spoken to on Thursday, as he should not finally dispose of Crawshay v. Collins, until he heard those points argued ; because if the accounts were to be taken in Browne v. De Jastet, as the Master had taken them, it seemed to the Court that the same principle would have to be applied in Crawshay v. Collins. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. HATTON GARDEN.—(Tins DAY.) A respectable-dressed woman, named Maria Smith, was charged with stealing bacon, value two shillings, from the shop of R. Morris, at Somers' Town. The case is to be sent before a jury. A Mr..T. Broughton was charged with firing loaded pistols, to the great danger of a Mr. Barclay and others of his Majesty's subjects in the neighbourhood. The De fendant was acquitted, much to the discomposure of the aforesaid Mr. Barclay's nerves, who vowed revenge, should it even cost him fifty pounds--" tantem animis ccelestibus ire?" JUVENILE FETE AT VAUXHALL. ' On Saturday the Proprietor of these Gardens gave his annual juvenile fete, together with its usual mixture of puerility and amusement. The company, however, though generally more select on this than on any other occasion, was neither remarkable for its respectability nor its numbers. The majority, in deed, as far as we could discern, consisted rather of those who were far advanced in their second; than of those who were just emerging from theirfirst childhood. The amuse ments, as usual, were of a versatile and agreeable character : the concert, in particular, was well executed, and the songs by Braham, and the other et cetera " of the musical quality," given with almost electric effect. As a place of amusement, Vauxhall is v er y we ll to b e once visited; its appearance, on first entering it, is highly imposing, and forcibly recalls our school-boy recollections of Aladdin, and the splendid necromancies of the " thousand and one nights." But one night is enough for this ; the odd thousand must be spent elsewhere; for the mind of the spectat or , unless of a very o r di nar y stamp i n d ee d , soon tires of the same formal show of monotonous splendour. The enterprizing proprietor mentioned, we understand, that there were no less than eighty thousand additional lamps used on occasion of this juvenile fete, it may be so; for our own parts, we were constrained to observe with Euripides, that r,A'Ey EXctairs, (the reader will excuse the perpetration of this pun, for the sake of its truth) for not the slightest difference in point of brilliancy was percep tible. Before we quit the subject, we will just allude en Passant to the unfairness, amounting almost to extortion, of the system of galleries in these gardens. After paying four shillings for admission, a sum surely sufficient to satisfy any reasonable: proprietor, an additional half-a-crown for the boxes, and a shilling for the gallery, is demanded—and what is worse, enforced. "Oh (lay and night, but this is wondrous strange !" and should undoubtedly be rectified, particularly in these days of bankruptcy and lamentation. But verbum sap. we trust the proprietor will see the utility of our hint. ENGLISH OPERA HOUSE. A new melo-drama from the pen of Mr. Banim, author of " Damon and Pythias," and " Tales by the O'Hara Family," was produced at this theatre on Thursday. A singular anecdote is at present in circulation respecting it. The plot it seems, was originally Irish, and founded on the tale of John Doe, in the O'Hara Family, from which it was dramatized by Mr. Banim himself. This was enough for the pious author of the exemplary " Broad Grins," " Two Parsons, or the Tale of a Shirt, &c."; his squeam ish judgment discovered revolution in every line of the play, and he accordingly issued his firman, directing that it should be rejected, unless the scene of action were transferred from Ireland to Spain. This was instantly done, the hero, honest John Doe was despatched to the Iberian mountains, rebaptized a Guerilla, and thus rege nerated, was set to work, and to ferment through three long acts. Still, notwithstanding this metamorphosis— more singular than any recorded in Ovid—the play was throughout successful. It appeared from the circumstances that Alvez (Mr. Bennett) the Guerilla Chief, had formed in youth a passion for Clara Sosa, (Miss Hamilton) which, under adverse fortun e s till f oun d a place in his he art . With the lady it was otherwise. She was a child when Alvez first loved her, and, therefore, was incapable of re turning his passion. As she advanced in years, however, it was highly expedient that she should love somebody, which said somebody made his appearance in the shape of a young officer, named Damien, averse of course to Alvez. After the usual allowance of plot and counterplot; alter nate success and disappointment on Shakspeare's receipt, " that the course of true love never did run smooth ;" Alvez resigns his claim ; rind bestows Clara Sosa on Damien, upon which, to use the good old nursery phrase, " they both marry and live very happy afterwards," although, in real life, from which this drama professes to be taken ; the latter circumstance is by no means the ne cessary consequence of the former. Thus much for the drama; with respect to the performers, we can speak in terms of unqualified praise. Mr. Bennett, in particular, the most intellectu a l o f modern melo-dra mat i sts, ev i nced con siderable e nerg y an d discriminati on , as t h e neglected Alvez; Miss Hamilton did justice to the coquettish Clara Sosa; Mr. Pearman was in good voice as D am i en; and Mr. rcher as Losquez, wore a highly impressive black wig. On Satu r d a y n i g ht the " Last G uer ill a " was repeated, togeth er with th e “ . B ar ber of S ev ill e, " i n which Mes sieurs Penson and 'Wrench made their second appearance, and confirmed the favourable impressions of the preceding evening. M r . p oison , in particular, is an actor of consi derable promise, and one, to use a grammatical term, in the future tense of excellence, which, we have no doubt, he will goon change to the present. Cobi obbett, in his Register, says, his right arm was so much pulled and s haken by the salutations of the people b e t ween Black b urn and Bolt on , t h at he could not the next mo rn i ng lift it up to tie his cravat.

WINDSOR, JULY 9.—His MAJESTY this morn ing, accompanied by his Suite, attended Divine Ser vice at the new private Chapel, near the Royal Lodge. The KING'S pony phaetons are ordered this after noon at half-past two o'clock, when his MAJISTY will take an airing in the Great Park. His MAJESTY is expected to visit the Castle, and inspect the general improvements. Yesterday the KING and visitors, together with his suite, passed the afternoon at Virginia Water, and dined at five o'clock under the marquee. His MA JESTY enjoyed several hours' angling, and we are happy to state continues in good health and spirits. Lord and Lady Strathaven are on a visit to his MAJESTY. Windsor during the present season has been a place of more public resort than has ever been remembered. Visitors of the most fashionable description almost daily honour us with their presence ; the Inns are crowded, and the private lodging houses are almost all occupied. The Duke of York continued going . on well yester day, when his Royal Highness was visited by the Du chess of Gloucester, the Princess Augusta, and the Princess Sophia. On Saturday Sir Herbert Taylor transacted military business with his Royal Highness the greater part of the morning. Soon after three o'clock the Royal Duke rode out in his open carriage and pair, proceeding at a slow pace from Mr. Green wood's villa to St. James's Park, where he viewed the new building erecting for his future residence. His Royal Highness did not alight from his carriage, but passed the building in the Park and in the Stable Yard. His Royal Highness, we are happy to say, is evidently looking much better. Yesterday the Princess Augusta attended divine ser vice at the Chapel Royal, St. James's. On Saturday morning, at half past ten o'clock, the Lords of His Majesty's Most Honourable Privy Council assembled at the Council Office, Whitehall, to hear Plantation Appeals. The Lords present were, Lord Stowell, the Master of the Rolls, and the Right Hon. H. Elliot. The appeals were from the islands of Grenada, Jamaica, and Berbice, and from Prince Edward's Island. Mr. Hart, Mr. Adams, and several other Barristers, were heard by their lord ships in the appeals. Their lordships sat till about half-past three o'clock. Earl Bathurst left town on Wednesday for Strath. fieldsay, on a visit to the Duke of Wellington. Saturday the Earl of 'Westmorland and Mr. Morier transacted business at the Foreign Office. Lord Stowell transacted business at the Colonial Office on Saturday. On Friday Mr. Huskisson transacted business at the Foreign Office. Friday evening Mr. Littlewood, a King's Messen ger, was sent off from the Foreign Office with de spatches to Lord Viscount Granville, the British Am bassador at Paris. On Friday afternoon, about five o'clock, Colonel Fremantle arrived at the Foreign Office, Downing straet, in a chaise and four, with despatches from Sir Charles Stewart, at Rio de Janerio. On Thursday the Lord Mayor gave a sumptuous dinner to the Court of Common Council, on occasion of Sir Peter Laurie's accession to his new honours as Alderman of the Ward of Aldersgate. Madame Caradori and Miss Ste are enga ge d for the grand musi ca l f es ti va l at Gloucester, to take place the middle of September. It is incorrect that Mr. Farquhar has left only one nephew. He has three, and a more immediate rela tive in America. The metropolis and its neighbourhood experienced the benefit of some refreshing showers, for about three hours, on Saturday night. The remains of the Earl of Chichester are to he be removed to-morrow morning from his house in Stratton-street, Piccadilly, for interment in the family vault in Sussex. It is reported that the French Government is about to adopt a new system with regard to the breed of horses. An establishment, composed chiefly of mili tary officers is to be formed in some of the central cities of the kingdom, for the purpose of carrying the plans of Government into effect. We understand that application has been made to the Lord Mayor by the Police Magistrates of Dublin, requesting his lordship to exercise his authority not to allow the newly-elected Candidates for the County to be chaired through the city, as they consider it might occasion riot and disturbance. We have not learned his lordship's decision on the subject, neither do we know that any positive determination has been come to by the friends of Colonels White and Talbot, rela tive to the chairing. One hundred and thirty-three Members of Parlia ment have been returned from England and Wales that did not sit in the last Parliament. Dr. Burney, who publishes a Meteorological Re port at his academy at Gosport, states in his last month's report, that there has not been so dry a spring in this country, as the present, for the last twenty years. DRURY-LANE THEATRE.-.-Mr. Bish has declined becoming the lessee of this theatre, in coneequence of the most extraordinary binding clauses which the lease contains • not a stick or a pin can be taken a w a y, though the lessee may expend 50,0001. on the pre mises—hence the loss of poor Elliston, who certainly ought to have another chance at redeeming himself, if it be true that his creditors bid 10,2501. on his be half. A proprietor of a Summer Theatre, not a hundred miles from Waterloo Bridge, is now named as the most likely person to take the helm at Drury. The lease of Drury-lane is the longest that was ever grantecl—for it occupies a dozen sheets of parchment!

Mr. Beaumont, the defeated party, has ex pended no less a sum than 80,000/. ; Messrs.

After his election, Sir Hugh was chaired through the town ; and in the evening he entertained at dinner, the delegates and a very large party of friends, all of whom were gratified by the kindness of the worthy Baronet, and the manner in which he had uniformly conducted himself towards every individual connected with the Northern Burghs.

The July Meeting commences to-morrow, and although recent events have created apprehensions in many that the sport would be prejudicially affected, we can venture to assert that as far as it depends on the Nobleman and Gentlemen of the Jockey Club, there will not be any defalcation, as they are resolved to preserve, as well to this as to future meetings, that character of superiority which has so long attached to them. The betting on the July Stakes has been very interesting. Mr. Wyndham's horse (Cricketter) is backed to a large sum, partly owing to the favourable reports which have been received respect ing him, and partly to the known excellence of his breed ; in deed, the Wyndham stud has been fortunate for the last year, and bids fair to rival the celebrated one of his Grace of Grafton.— Many of the Derby and Oaks horses are in that stakes; if they come out, a certain criterion will be afforded for subsequent en gageinests on those stakes. For the information of those not on the spot, we subjoin the latest odds on the July and St. Leger Stakes : JULY. 6 to 1 apt Cricketer f► to it apt Sprite 9 to ! apt Catgut 8 to I apt Pawn, jun. 10 to I api any other.

Barley, notwithstanding the short supply, and the repbrts from the country markets of a rise in this article of from 3s. to ss. per quarter, is in very little demand; what few samples went off were at last Monday's prices.
